Nick Foles is the worst starter in football

Chiefs defence is being reminded that not every team is the Jets. Offence needs 40 if they want to win today.

Carolina playing the best way to beat the Chiefs IMO.

Yeah Chirfs are losing today. This is just like the Raiders game. For whatever reason the Chiefs are very mediocre at Arrowhead these days.

Seattle defense even worse. Dunbar shouldn't be out there, and Bills are going after him as the first look every play.

The latitude Wilson has been given (demanded, or else, from what I've heard) this season, like a few weeks ago, is probably driving Carroll crazy in games like this. INT on the goal line again 2nd time in 3 games and lazy fumble.

Well leaving Tyreek Hill wide open is a pretty bad idea. Looks like Matt Ruehl had the Chiefs to cover.

Butker sucks. Misses another extra point. I think it might cost the Chiefs the game.

Another terrible INT by Wilson and another fumble the next possession. He blew the Arizona game and that 3rd INT was just terrible when it was still a 2 score game.

So you get the good with the bad of course but he's trying too hard to make some big plays when the little ones are there, and making stupid decisions.

I know they have injuries at RB which doesn't help but he's trying to wait and or force it to Metcalf or Lockett and that's it. Defense leaves little margin for error (though they do have 7 sacks), but point remains that the 17 point difference right now (44-27)is the same as points off drives after 3 of the 4 Wilson turnovers.

For a coach who has structure and balance, while giving some guys flexibility in the system, giving Wilson a whole lot of flexibility is a risk.

Maybe I'm biased but is there a better NFL away uniform than the Raiders?

It really is remarkable that, with all the other athletic advances in football and athletes and working out etc in general, that all but one kicker can't kick it farther than Dempsey did 50! years ago. Including kicking balls, better surfaces etc. It's basically less likely then a hail Mary of being successful and is treated as such by teams and kickers themselves.

Not saying it should be automatic but 5 yards further such as the 67 for the Carolina kicker today, may as well be 45yards longer, when IMO it shouldn't be. And they go wildly right or left, clearly showing the kicker abandoning mechanics that they practice hundreds of times a week for years to try and "kick harder".

I don't think I've seen a long attempt like that go straight, but short, but I would respect that more. It's almost too as if there is some sort of mental block when it goes above 60 yards.

Jesus, glad I missed this... first Hawks game I haven't seen this season.

I think he pretty much had to have a perfect season to win MVP given how the media just love to find any reason they can not to give it to him, but he's had two bad games out of eight. Unless his 2nd half is better than his first they'll give it to Mahomes or Rodgers.

The Steelers... Huge road favorites playing like ####. It’s a tradition under Tomlin.
